#1: Reattaching alloy wheel lions Author: MRyan89, Location: Home: Fleet, Hampshire, Uni: Portsmouth!Posted: Thu Nov 10, 2011 5:11 pm ---- I got my vortex's refurbished yesterday, they are back to their former non-curbed glory! When the alloy wheel bloke did them he peeled off the lions in the center of each wheel, wrecking the foam like tape that attaches them. Instead of buying new ones, ive resprayed them black to contrast with the wheels...only problem is sticking them back on.
Any ideas which glue would be best? I was going to just superglue them but will that keep them on when they are exposed to rain, salt and autoglym stuff? Cant have them falling off straight away
Thanks all

tiger seal gets messy... with the lion being so intricate and have very little surface.
personally i would try and buy new lions as it could get tricky to stick them back on with sticky pads or glue them on...

99.9% of the time this is correct, plenty of fools on here get stuff of Ebay thinking they are getting a bargain until they find out the Peugeot main dealer price is cheaper

Yeah like Lee said, i used double sided foam number plate tape when i accidently pulled the X off my xsi badge.
Dont know if the lion badges are mounted onto very thin foam like the badges on my car but its definatly stuck very very well now.
Just make sure you get all the sticky stuff of the back of your lion badges and when you have stuck them onto the foam cut around the edges carefully with a stanley knife so you cant see any of the foam poking out around the edges.
Thats how i did my badge and its definatly stuck and looks just like all the other badges on the car.
